Hey i was looking forward to this Sara.very nice outcome.

I must admit though i really do prerfer your mono version.

Could we see the mono 3 channel version maybe ?

Great as always Sara.

[Martin-Devon]

It's a lovely image Sara, I especially like the tone of the blue hues you're getting now in your images. The outer filaments of the jellyfish itself, in blue, look really nice and effective.

Amazing,  love it !

[PhotoGav]

Beautiful. To me it's more a Fireball than a Jellyfish though! Fantastic colour.

My first reaction was a four-letter S-word! Very nice indeed .

[Mick J]

ooooooooooo........  I do like that, well done and thanks

[swag72]

Thanks all for your comments - Glad that you like it!

@Ewan - The Ha is similar to the mono image I posted before - Not much OIII and the SII is almost as much as the Ha. 

[gingergeek]

Your tones are becoming more subtle for sure, beautiful framing and presentation.

[Epicycle]

Fantastic! This framing helps a lot for the oiii. How was the sii?

Very nice indeed. What I find of interest her is mot the main shell of gas, as normally imaged but the areas where the shockwave becomes more homogeneous. There are some lovely dark nebula outside the main shell and the central wave of gas is very interesting. You have inspired me with some ideas for my RC Sara! 

[ollypenrice]

I think this is an absolute stunner with a sharpness that is bang on, not overdone but as delicate as you like.

Wonderful.

Oh my oh my.  It's jumped out of the screen and bopped me.  Stunning image!

[swag72]

Thanks very much folks - Subtle tones? ......... That just won't do at all

[Ikonnikov]

I can see the lick of flames in there too, the level of detail combined with field of view is amazing!

[steppenwolf]

Sara, I love the subtle tones you have produced in this image - wonderful!

[bluedandelion]

The large version is really wonderful. Excellent work!

Quite simply breathtaking images Sara. Love the mono as well.

[SnakeyJ]

Incredble image and stunning clarity - I can loose my self for hours on the hi-res version. Something of the majestic revealed in this study :-)

[swag72]

Thanks folks!!

[Coco]

That's the best Jelly I've seen on here ever!  The colour is sublime!
